The Elevator project using PLC ladder logic programming, elevator system using plc, elevator system using ladder logic, elevator with plc, plc elevator
Hi, my friends and welcome back. I am happy to meet you again with a new tutorial of our PLC ladder logic programming series tutorials. Today we will complete what we started the last tutorial on the Elevator control project. We have a bunch of duties to complete together today. So let’s save time and jump into work immediately. Project description: Figure one shows the details that might help me describe the project between our hands. We have an elevator car that travels up and down and can stop on one of four floors based on the passengers’ requests. We have 6 push buttons on the wall next to the elevator door that can send requests to call the elevator. In addition, there is a control panel inside the elevator cabinet in which there are push buttons to request stations to reach floors ...

CNC milling: things you need to know
CNC Milling, CNC Milling process, CNC Milling types, CNC Milling advantages
Milling is a machining process that can create detailed or complex shapes from metal, plastic, or other materials. The CNC milling process involves using a computer to control the motion of a rotary cutter that removes material from a workpiece. This article will discuss things you need to know about the CNC milling process. What is CNC milling, and what are its uses? CNC milling is a machining process that uses computer numerical control (CNC) to cut materials precisely. It can produce complex shapes with high accuracy and repeatability from metal, plastic, or other materials. It is used for many applications, including prototyping, manufacturing parts, making moulds and dies, creating fixtures for production lines, producing 3D sculptures and m ...

Advance Counter Functions in PLC Ladder Logic
counter types in plc, counter data bits in plc ladder logic, counter functions in plc, plc counter reset, how to use counter in plc
Hi, my friends. Welcome to share a new tutorial in our ladder logic programming series. Today we will discuss counters in ladder logic programming using an expert’s view. So let’s wear the glasses of an expert in ladder logic programming and look deeply into counters, the types of counters, their variables and bits. In addition, techniques of using counters to solve a different kinds of problems that need counting. And without questions like every time, we will enjoy practicing programming and simulating all about counters. So with no further delay, let’s jump into our tutorial and nail that counters. Counters in real life Tell me, guys, if you can imagine an industrial project or machine that does not need to count parts, products, or processing cycles. Actually, in most cases in indust ...

Drag and Lift in Fluids
drag in fluids, lift in fluids, fluids drag, fluids lift, drag and lift in fluids, parallel surface fluids
It is one of the most critical topics whenever. It is related to the resistance a fluid faces in motion. A fluid exerts a force on a body in a different direction. Now the main question is, what is drag? And what do we know about it? What is Drag? The definition of drag is as follows: The force exerted on a flowing fluid in the direction of fluid flow is called drag. Some of the essential key points related to the drag are as follows: In order to elaborate on the drag force through an example. The body is attached to calibrated spring, and it is used to measure the displacement in the direction of flow.  The drag balances are one of those devices that are commonly used to measure the drag force. It is not wrong to say that the drag force is much similar to the frictional force. ...

What are the business applications of 3D Printing?
What are the business applications of 3D Printing, practical applications of 3D printers
Although 3D printing feels like a relatively new development, there are lots of promising projects underway. A scheme to build 46 eco-homes has been approved in the UK’s first 3D printed development , for example, and the same is happening in Australia to provide housing for remote indigenous communities in rural areas .  But how can 3D printing be applied in business? Here’s a breakdown on how it can be used and the opportunities it creates. What is 3D printing? 3D printing refers to technology that can form materials using computer designs. The earliest signs of 3D printing came about in 1981. Dr. Hideo Kodama created a rapid prototyping machine that built solid parts using a resin and a layer-by-layer system. Using a bottom-up technique, the material is layered until a tangib ...

What is Fluid Kinematics?
Fluid Kinematics, Kinematics in fluid, basics of fluid kinematics, fluid kinematics intro
Hello friend. In this article, I will cover essential points related to fluid kinematics, i.e., what fluid kinematics is and how the motion of the fluids can be explained without describing the forces acting on them. Further, I will explain Lagrangian and Euler about the motion of fluid and a lot more. So buckle up, and let’s start. What is Fluid kinematics? The definition of fluid kinematics is as follows: Fluid kinematics is related to fluid motion without considering the forces responsible for the motion. The following are some essential key points related to fluid kinematics: The nature of fluid motion is categorized into two types: Lagrangian Euler. I will extensively explain both types in upcoming topics. The acceleration, velocity ...

Deburring and Brushing Machines from Germany
Deburring and Brushing Machines from Germany, machines
Several manufacturing processes for plastic manufacturers and metalworkers, like milling or casting, produce burrs. However, to guarantee the safety and quality of a component, one needs to ensure smooth edges that will not cause any problems in further processing or use of the item. Deburring and brushing machines are solutions to this issue. High-quality deburring technology from Germany can be integrated into casting and cutting machines, and to automatically produce flawless components. Deburring and Brushing Machines from Germany What are Burs, and How do They Develop? Burrs are unwanted protrusions of a material like metal or resin that can develop during processing.  When picturing a component like a gear, it is easy to understand, th ...

Torque Sensors vs Strain Gauges: What’s Best for Your Project?
Torque Sensors vs Strain Gauges
I still remember the first time I had to choose between a strain gauge and a torque sensor. It was a cramped motor lab. Old bench. Coffee gone cold. The project manager wanted answers by Friday. On paper the choice looked simple. In the real world it never is. Every project has its own personality. Speed. Budget. Accuracy. Abuse level. And usually a deadline that doesn’t care about any of that. If you have spent time around test stands and factory motors you know this dilemma well. Torque measurement sounds straightforward until you actually have to do it. That is when questions start piling up. How accurate do we really need to be. Will this thing survive vibration. Can we install it without tearing the whole setup apart. And the big one. Will it still read the same after six months of h ...

Conservation Laws in Fluid Mechanics
conservation of mass, mass conservation, mass conservation in fluid mechanics
In this article, I will cover one of the essential topics of fluid mechanics as the title shows three crucial topics—the first concerns the conservation of mass and how it plays a critical role in our daily life. The next one involves the conservation of kinetic and potential energy and is all about the flow energy of a fluid stream. The Bernoulli equation is all about considering the energies, handling them of fluid, and neglecting the viscous forces. The last topic is energy equations, which is about the conservation of energy principle. As we know that while dealing with energy in fluid mechanics, the mechanical energy can be separated from the thermal energy and end, considering it an energy loss. So without wasting time, let us start the article with the mass. Conservation Laws I w ...
